Walkers saved from snowbound Lake District fell by mountain rescuers and RAF just 44 minutes into the new year
Mountain rescuers and the RAF were called on just 44 minutes into the new year after two walkers attempted to scale a 3,000ft-high Lake District fell in poor weather to see in 2023.
However when they reached the linked Green Gable, the women were met with strong winds, blowing, persistent rain, sleet, hail and snow, said the team. Taking note of the weather, they decided to turn back. But on their descent, one of the women fell, breaking her ankle. Due to the potentially difficult location, rescuers called on the help of the coastguard. Unfortunately, weather conditions meant they had to turn back. The team were eventually able to locate the walkers and safely bring them down from the fell.
"When they reached Green Gable conditions were impressively unpleasant with strong winds blowing persistent rain, sleet, hail and snow so they wisely turned back. Unfortunately on the descent one of them slipped and fell breaking her ankle so they called 999 and asked for Mountain Rescue.
